Girls/women might wear a flower in her hair, or on her wrist. A boy/man would wear a lapel flower in the same place you would at a wedding (on the right of your chest, if he has a pocket on the right on of the suit, he puts the flower in the pocket with petals showing. Otherwise the flower is pinned on.

It is sometimes called a flower crown or flower tiara. If the flowers are daisies, it is called a daisy chain. Another name is flower halo. Medieval women wore them at May Day celebrations. Women still wear them for weddings.
In Tahiti, how the flower is worn in the hair by women is a signal of their relationship status, known as "The Language of Flowers". Worn behind your right ear; you are single, available. Worn behind your left ear; you are married, engaged or otherwise taken. Worn behind both ears; you are married but still available. Worn backward behind your ear; you are available immediately.
